Engineering Item Revision (tiedm1100m100)

Use this session to modify and define revisions of E-items. You can, for example:

  • Enter data for revisions of engineering items.
  • Import revision data from a CAD application.
  • Change the revision status of an e-item revision.

On the tabs, you can view and maintain the revision's EBOM, and the relationships between an engineering item and standard or customized items.

Field Information

Engineering Item

The E-item for which you want to maintain revisions.

Engineering Item Revision

The engineering item's revision for which you are defining a bill of material (BOM).

MBC

The mass BOM change used to control the revision.

Status

The status of the revision.

Allowed values

In-design

The initial status of the revision.

Frozen

You can no longer change the design of the revision.

You can still reset the revision status to In-design.

Approved by Engineering

The design of the revision has passed its first approval step. Typically, the person responsible for the design is permitted to change the status to Approved by Engineering.

You can still reset the revision status to In-design.

Before you can copy a revision to a production item or to a production bill of material, the revision status must be set to Approved by Production.

Approved by Production

The design of the revision has passed its final approval. Typically, the person responsible for production is permitted to change the status to Approved by Production.

The revision can now be copied to a production item or to a production bill of material.

You can no longer change the design or reset the revision status to an earlier status.

Canceled

The revision is no longer used.

Effective Date

The date and time that the revision becomes effective.

You can change this date manually to any future date. If you have multiple revisions that have the In-design status, you can schedule the effective date for all these revisions.

If the revision is finalized, the effective date of the revision for the parent E-item is taken as the effective date for the production BOM lines. So the desired effective date for the PBOM lines must be set here.

Expiry Date

If the revision has the Approved by Production status, the Expiry Date field is empty, and you can set this date manually. When a new revision is created with an effective date before the expiry date of the previous revision the expiry date of the previous revision is set to the effective date of this new revision.

You cannot change the expiry date if:

  • The status of the revision is not Approved by Production.
  • The revision has been Approved by Production, but the Expiry Date field is filled.

E-Item Revision Text

If this check box is selected, a revision text is present.

Manual Revision Numbering

If this check box is selected, you can enter the revision number manually when you create new revisions.

If you change the revision numbering mode in between, for example, from manual to automatic, the next highest number for the current revision series for the e-item is generated.

Source

The source of the revision.

Note: 
  • If the revision is created in EDM, the source is set to Manual.
  • If the revision is created externally, by the BillOfMaterial BOD, the source is set to PLM.

Allowed values

Manual

The P-BOM is defined in the Production Bills of Material (timfc3100m000) session.

Production Bill of Material

The P-BOM revision was generated from an existing production bill of material.

Engineering Bill of Material

The P-BOM is generated from an engineering bill of material.

Note: If the P-BOM is generated from an E-BOM, the Source Engineering Item and Source Revision fields are filled.
PLM

The P-BOM is generated from data imported from PLM.

Configurator (PCF)

The P-BOM is generated from data imported from the PCF configurator.

Configurator

The P-BOM is generated from data imported from Infor Configurator.

Job Shop Bill of Material

The P-BOM was generated from a job shop bill of material.

Not Specified
Creation Date

The date on which the revision was created.

Description

The revision's description.

Item Signal

The code of item signal.

During the process of the copying e-item to a standard item, the item signal code can be copied only when the Copy Item Signal Code check box is selected in the Engineering Data Management Parameters (tiedm0100m000) session.

Engineer

The employee who is responsible for supervising the design of the revision.

Name

Displays the value entered in the Name field in the Employees - General (tccom0101m000) session, from which you select the value for the Engineer field.

BOM Quantity

BOM quantity

Unit Set

unit set

Unit

Unit of measurement, such as meter, kilogram, or piece.

Material

What the e-item revision is made of, for the current revision.

For example, paper, plastic, wood.

Size

How large the e-item revision is, for the current revision.

For example, 200 mm x 1 meter.

Standard

The company, national, or international standard to which the e-item revision conforms (or must conform), for the current revision.

For example, ISO 8601, NEN 3140, BS 1383.

Weight Unit

Unit of measurement for weight, such as a kilogram.

Weight

The weight of the revision, entered in the units that you have defined in the Weight Unit field.

In Process by Change Management

If this check box is selected, an approval procedure for the e-item revision has started in Data Management . You must first complete the approval procedure before you can approve the revision for production.

Effective Change Order

The change order that defines the effective date of the e-item revision.

Expiry Change Order

The change order that defines the expiry date of the e-item revision.

Approved by Engineering Date

The date when the revision status was changed to Approved by Engineering. From that date, the design of the revision is approved for use in the engineering environment. However, it cannot be copied to a production item or copied to a production bill of material.

Once a revision is Approved by Engineering it cannot be deleted, only canceled and archived.

Approved by Production Date

The date when the revision status was changed to Approved by Production. From that date, the revision can be either copied to a production item or to a production bill of material.

Date from CAD

The date that the revision was imported from a CAD application.
